Ainos Partners with Nisshinbo Micro Devices and Inabata to Co-Develop VOC Sensing Platform For Broader Industry Adoption

The Collaboration Signals Era of New Innovation for AI Nose Technology for Broader Industry Adoption

With Partnership, Ainos Makes Progress Towards Mission of Digitizing Smell

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2023 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD, AIMDW) ("Ainos", or the "Company"), a diversified healthcare company focused on the development of novel point-of-care testing, low-dose interferon therapeutics, and synthetic RNA-driven preventative medicine, today announced that it had signed an agreement (the "Agreement") with Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc. (NISD) and Taiwan Inabata Sangyo Co. (Inabata) to co-develop a volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing platform (the "Platform"). The Platform is intended to be used in a variety of applications including telehealth, automotive, industrial, and environmental safety.

Under the Agreement, Ainos and NISD (collectively, the "Parties") will co-develop a VOC sensing platform that leverages Ainos' digital nose intellectual properties, the AI Nose platform. Ainos will be compensated with an upfront development fee and per-unit fees. Inabata will provide business logistics for the program and liaise between Ainos and NISD.

The Parties have a shared vision for the future of VOC sensing technology across a variety of applications, including telehealth, automotive, industrial, and environmental safety. To achieve this vision, the Parties have committed to collaborating on the development of innovative technologies by leveraging Ainos' cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and digital nose technologies. These technologies have been developed over the past decade, and are protected by over 50 active and pending patents. By combining their expertise and resources, the Parties aim to create a new standard in VOC sensing and analysis, utilizing Ainos' deep-learning algorithm and cloud-based big data analysis to provide unparalleled accuracy and insight.

Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, Ainos' Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to announce our latest initiative to generate new revenue streams through our diversified product portfolio. Following the successful launch of VELDONA® Pet, we are further advancing our AI Nose platform along the path to commercialization. We have long recognized the vast potential of VOC sensing technology beyond healthcare, and we believe that this co-development project is a key step in fulfilling our vision to expand use cases for our AI Nose tech platform."

Mr. Tsai added, "VOCs are chemicals commonly found in indoor and outdoor surroundings, and in products such as paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. They can be emitted as gases from solids or liquids and can be hazardous to health. Digital nose technology, also known as gas sensors, has been widely used for air quality monitoring in industrial and environmental settings. Our cutting-edge AI Nose tech platform, which combines digital nose sensors, AI algorithms, and the digital profiling of VOCs as the Smell ID, has the capacity to revolutionize air quality sensing in these scenarios. By integrating AI, we can enhance traditional VOC sensing capabilities, making them more intelligent and effective: We are essentially giving AI a nose."
